Week 23 – goodbye, exhaustion!

How far along? 23 weeks and 4 days, so nearing the end of the second trimester (really? Wow, time is just flying by)

Total weight gain/loss: About five and half kilos. I think that is okay – I hope that is okay!

Stretch marks?: Not yet, but then I feel as if gyermek has finished a bit of a growth spurt and that my belly will stay the same size for a few weeks now. (Or is this just wishful thinking…?)

Sleep: Some nights good, some nights bad. I’ve started getting cramp at night again, which is a great big pain, but so far, it’s not too bad. However, some nights, I just don’t feel tired at all.

Best moment this week: Sitting outside in the sunshine (the day before October!) and chatting with a pregnant friend.

Worst moment this week: Probably that some of the side effects of the iron tablets have appeared. However, I’m going to carry on with them, because the benefits are just so good – goodbye, exhaustion!

Movement: Yes, lots, and not just low down now. Sometimes it feels like gyermek is running a marathon in there.

Belly button in or out?: Still in – yippee!

What I miss: Not sure that I feel like I’m missing out on anything this week because I’m pregnant. Perhaps the disappearance of the feelings of exhaustion are making me more positive?

What I am looking forward to: Hmm, not sure. Cannot think of anything off the top of my head that is due to happen in the next few weeks.

Milestones: We’ve spent this weekend cleaning up our Teutonia stroller, so we can sell it on. We’ve bought a luverly iCandy Peach Blossom stroller for Little O and gyermek to share. So, the Teutonia will be listed on Blocket soon.
